Read before use
Congratulations on your new VELOSOCK Full Bike Cover! We’re sure you’re going to have a great time with it. But do read this manual before using the Full Bike Cover to avoid any disappointment when the product is not used with proper care and consideration. The Full Bike Cover is made of durable, moisture-absorbing fabric and designed for designed to last with minimal maintenance. However, when using Full Bike Covers on bike racks, the user must understand the precautions that come with it:
- Only rear car bike racks where bikes are securely fixed in an upright position (vertically) can be used.
- Car bike racks come with a maximum speed warning which shouldn’t be exceeded. Aerodynamic drag increases with speed, and exceeding the speed rating could effectively exert too much force onto the bike cover. Adapt your speed to the conditions of the road, wind speed and the load being carried. If possible, use a lower speed limit (-20 km/h) than is allowed for your bike rack (see your bike rack instructions). The vehicle’s speed must always be adjusted to the load being carried and the current driving conditions, such as the road type, road quality, wind conditions, traffic intensity and applicable speed limits. Applicable speed limits and other traffic regulations must always be observed.
- An additional number plate and/or rear lights might be required. This should be attached to the appropriate part of the carrier in accordance with local laws.
- The zippers of the Full Bike Cover should not be placed and fixed against the frame of the bike.
- Use Full Bike Covers only on rear car bike racks to avoid aerodynamic drag.
- Keep proper distance between bicycles if you put more than one bike on the car rack. Full Bike Covers can tear up in contact points with other bikes and the car.
- Check for all sharp items on the bike rack and your bicycle. Sharp items can easily tear up the Full Bike Cover, as it is not designed to resist cuts. Make sure to pad and additionally secure any sharp points (quick release, brake lever, etc.), handlebars, bike rack stress points, etc. on your bike to ensure that your Full Bike Cover lasts longer. Use pedal covers (they come with the Full Bike Cover) to avoid scratches from the pedals.
- Inspect your bike before each ride to be sure the cover and your bike are properly assembled.
- Be aware of the width and height of your bike cover since low clearance branches, bridges, and parking garages can affect the load. All cargo will affect the vehicle’s driving behavior. Never drive with locks, knobs or racks in an open or unlocked position.
- Do not use your Full Bike Cover for purposes other than those for which it was designed. Do not exceed the carrying capacity. Remove the Full Bike Cover from your bicycle when it is not in use and before entering automatic car washes. Keep the Full Bike Cover away from hot exhaust.
- Protect your Full Bike Cover from mechanical shocks from any other hard or sharp objects.
- Try to avoid using Full Bike Covers on gravel roads and off-road. Larger flying stones can damage not only the cover, but also your bicycle.
Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to product tear-ups and disappointment. Consult with us if you have any questions regarding the operations and limits. If VELO SOCK Full Bike Covers are not used properly, and you find a small tear, don’t be upset. Cuts can often be quickly and easily repaired with handy “TEAR-AID® Type A” adhesive repair patches (included with the cover) or any other flexible fabric patch solution. VELO SOCK Full Bike Covers are made of rip-stop fabric that will prevent small cuts from tearing up further. When using “TEAR-AID® Type A” adhesive repair patches, please strictly follow the attached application instruction (please see the other side of the leaflet) at all times to obtain proper bond. VELO SOCK products have unique qualities, all confirmed by the reviews from thousands of our customers. We’ve understood that inventing an outdoor product that has to face huge aerodynamic drag would be a challenging task. But we still took on the challenge. The result – VELOSOCK Full Bike Cover. After extensive material tests we’ve chosen the most balanced high-tech textile for it. The material is durable, moisture-absorbing, washable, stretchable, and colorful. We tested the product on dozens of different bicycles and car racks to provide you with this bike transportation and storage solution. Use it properly.
DESCRIPTION
TEAR-AID® Repair Patches provide a simple and easy method of patching holes and tears, as well as an excellent protective film solution. Each TEAR-AID® Repair Patch is made from an exceptionally tough, matte finish, abrasion- resistant, elastomer that resists puncture and tearing. It is combined with an aggressive adhesive formulated for high bond strength. Tear-Aid expands absorbing force on impact and always returns to original shape and size. This flexibility allows the patch to conform to irregular surfaces without restricting the movement of the repaired material.
IMPORTANT:
TEAR-AID® is the durable, flexible, airtight, watertight, puncture-resistant,
industrial-strength patch that protects against abrasion, moisture, saltwater,
UV sunlight and extreme temperatures. Type A is at approximately 90% adhesion
upon initial application and 100% adhesion after one (1) hour.
- TEMPERATURE: Approximate Range after application
- Type A: -20°F TO 140°F (-29°C TO +60°C)
TEAR-AID® APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
DRY REPAIR TEARS AND HOLES
For best results apply to a clean, dry surface.
- Step 1. CUT: Cut patch to size with scissors allowing for the patch size to extend 1 inch (2.54 cm) beyond all edges of the tear. If using more than one patch, allow for patch sizes to overlap at least 1 inch (2.54 cm). Trim square corners into rounded corners.
- Step 2. PEEL: Carefully peel back ½ inch (1.27 cm) of the paper liner. Tearing the paper liner while stretching the edge of the patch will help to separate the liner from the patch – especially when the patch has been cut into smaller sizes.
- Step 3. STICK: Position and anchor exposed ½ inch (1.27 cm) edge – allowing the patch to extend 1 inch (2.54 cm) beyond all edges of the tear. Slowly peel back the liner while carefully applying the patch over the tear – take care to avoid air bubbles. Rub all edges to seal. Rub the entire patch aggressively. Follow Steps 1-3 on the back side of the repair if you have access to the backside. The repair is complete.
